What is Powdered Dextrose? |
|
|
Could someone tell me what powdered dextrose is? We have a family project this weekend of making homemade sausage (various kinds), and one of the recipes calls for powdered dextrose. What is it and where could we look for it? Local food stores do not carry it on the shelf, and the meat departments have no idea of what it is. Any suggestions?

I was reading on a subject that fructose could make you fat. I've been using some sweeteners with dextrose in it. Is this dextrose a fattening sweetener too?

It is (in the U.S.) a corn sweetener product, and many people (some unknowingly) are allergic to it. It would be better [safer] to use regular beet or cane sugar.

It is one of several forms of sugar. You can find it on e-Bay for $3.00 per pound + shipping. I'm not sure what advantage it would have over regular confectioners (powdered) sugar, but the e-Bay site claims it is "an ideal nutrient that assists fermentation and gives the desired tangy flavor. Dextrose is heavier than meat and forces itself into the cells of meat." Personally I'd be inclined to try a small batch of whatever I was making with regular powdered sugar and see how it turned out. I wonder if anyone could tell the difference.
